One of the most common concerns fragrance lovers have is longevity. A perfume may smell beautiful, but if it fades too quickly, the experience feels incomplete.
The good news is that making your perfume last longer is not only about the fragrance itself — it’s also about how and where you apply it.
At The Boho Storyy, our perfumes are crafted with long-lasting compositions and IFRA-certified ingredients. However, with the right application techniques, you can enhance their performance even further.
Here are expert-backed tips to help you enjoy your fragrance for longer hours.
1. Apply Perfume on Moisturised Skin
Dry skin absorbs fragrance faster, causing it to fade sooner. Applying perfume on well-moisturised skin helps lock in the scent.
What to do:
- Use an unscented body lotion or natural oil before applying perfume.
- Apply perfume after showering, when your skin is slightly damp.
This works exceptionally well with fragrances like Floral Fantasia and Chic Opulence, which bloom beautifully on hydrated skin.
2. Spray on Pulse Points — But Don’t Overdo It
Pulse points emit heat, which helps diffuse fragrance naturally throughout the day.
Ideal pulse points include:
- Behind the ears
- Inner wrists
- Base of the neck
- Inside elbows
Avoid rubbing your wrists together after spraying — this breaks down fragrance molecules and reduces longevity.
3. Use Fragrance on Clothing (Carefully)
Fabric holds scent longer than skin. Lightly misting perfume on clothing can extend its presence.
Best fabrics: Cotton, wool, scarves
Avoid: Silk, satin, and delicate fabrics (to prevent staining)
Fresh and woody fragrances like Scottish Breeze and Auric Edge perform particularly well on clothing.
4. Choose the Right Concentration for the Occasion
Not all perfumes are designed for the same level of intensity.
Understanding concentration helps set realistic expectations.
- Eau de Parfum (EDP): Longer-lasting, richer scent
- Eau de Toilette (EDT): Lighter and fresher
The Boho Storyy perfumes are crafted to deliver a balanced longevity suitable for daily wear as well as special occasions.
5. Store Your Perfume Correctly
Improper storage can weaken a fragrance over time.
Always store perfumes:
- Away from direct sunlight
- In a cool, dry place
- Inside their original box if possible
Heat and light can alter fragrance composition and reduce performance.
6. Layer Your Fragrance Thoughtfully
Fragrance layering is an excellent way to increase longevity and create a signature scent.
Layering ideas:
- A fresh base like Auric Edge with a warm fragrance like Mevrik Muse
- A soft floral like Floral Fantasia paired with the depth of Noir Nebula
Layering should enhance, not overpower — two light sprays are enough.
7. Choose High-Quality, Certified Fragrances
Longevity also depends on ingredient quality and formulation.
IFRA-certified perfumes ensure safe, stable, and well-balanced compositions that last longer without harming the skin.
All The Boho Storyy fragrances are:
- IFRA-certified
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Crafted with plant-based alcohol
Final Thoughts
A perfume should stay with you — not disappear after an hour. By applying fragrance correctly and choosing thoughtfully crafted scents, you can enjoy long-lasting elegance every day.
